4th Grade Mr. Perham

"The arts teach students to think through and within a
material. All art forms employ some means through which images become real."

By Eliot Eisner

The FourthGrade Curriculum inspires students to perceive
and shape the visual, spatial and aesthetic characteristics of the world around
them.Using a variety of ways to
explore, learn and communicate, students develop their capacity for imaginative
and reflective thinking.They will be
introduced to numerous cultures and their artistic practices through creative
projects and visual studies.They will
learn the importance of how to take care of materials and tools and to use them
safely.By the end of the year they will
have an expanded repertoire of 2D and 3D artwork demonstrating their knowledge
of the methods, materials and techniques unique to the visual arts. Above all I
encourage my students to feel free to express themselves and have fun with the
creative process.
